Unfortunately, over the last few days our work routines have been at times disrupted by rocket attacks from some of our neighbors… but as the old proverb says: ‘WHERE THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A WAY’.

We have more than 5 million customers who rely on our technology and use our products around the world, including www.similarsites.com and www.topsite.com – it is our job to ensure that our users’ experience with SimilarGroup’s technology solutions is as flawless as ever.

As for our talented team, needless to say that their safety is paramount. Air raid sirens haven’t managed to spoil the atmosphere in the office or the team’s drive to carry on developing world-class technology.

We believe that we can make great things happen when we work together. And when you put SimilarGroup’s brains in a room, fresh ideas and inspiration will happen, regardless of the location – be it an office, a bar, a boardroom or even a shelter.

As you can see in the pictures, our servers are also safe inside the shelter – yes, we are that serious about the well-being of our technology!

We all hope the conflict will resolve very soon. In the meantime… hard at work.

Last Thursday, we took our ‘open door policy’ to the next level as we partnered with Tel Aviv Municipality to be a part of Open Startup.

Open Startup was a unique and first of its kind event during which the general public had an opportunity to visit dozens of startup companies throughout the city and gain a peek behind the scenes of one of the world’s most active and important innovation hubs. During the event entrepreneurs from a diverse range of companies showed visitors new products being developed, shared experiences as entrepreneurs and talked about our future plans.

There was a lot of buzz around Tel Aviv as the event was widely promoted. We helped fueling the buzz the day before the event by showing a little glimpse into our offices in a great video on The Marker website. You can watch it here.

The event was very popular, attracting many curious minds eager to learn more about the team & technology behind www.similarsites.com , www.topsite.com and some of the new products we are currently developing.

But they didn’t just get a technology lesson! They learned about our company values, our team spirit and why SimilarGroup is the hottest place to work right now. A lot of people simply asked us ‘Can I join SimilarGroup?’ As we are always looking for the brightest talent, we always recommend people interested in joining us to check our website regularly for the latest job openings. http://www.similargroup.com/joining-similargroup

Thanks to all participants and visitors – we had a lot of fun and hope to do it again very soon.

Our move-in last Monday marked the start of a new chapter for the SimilarGroup team, a chapter with stronger air conditioning units, elegant windows, wooden floors, and granite toilets—a chapter where anything is possible. We even have a dartboard and movie theatre set up! Luckily, we only moved a few blocks away from our previous location, so we still have all the benefits of being a high-tech start-up in the lively center of Tel-Aviv. However, the bright new atmosphere reinvigorates our team and we are excited to hit the ground running with new ideas and technologies. Be on the lookout for updates about our new product launch, which will be coming soon!

]]>My work experience at SimilarGroup was an amazing and career-building opportunity. The six months with the company were defined by the lessons learned and the camaraderie of my coworkers.

Having worked previously in sales, I was a bit overwhelmed at first by the technical level of the company. Hadoop, jquery and Firebug were foreign words that sounded more like superhero names than programming platforms and tools. From day one, Or, Nir and the rest of the team were always eager to explain their work and help me understand the purpose of my initial tasks. I quickly became familiar with an assortment of development terms that helped build the foundational understanding of the amazing things that were being done at the company. I soon found out that we weren’t just helping people find similar websites, we were also collecting a huge amount of complex data and analyzing it to help businesses learn more about how people use the Internet.

With more time spent in the office, I eventually earned the opportunity to work in an area where I could make an impact – marketing. Or, the founder, has an innate ability to identify a person’s strengths and allow them to work in an area they are passionate about. At the same time, he exposed me to every aspect of marketing associated with the company, from pay-per-click advertising to search engine optimization to brand building and content development.

Having come from the US, I had never had the chance to work with international companies. Two weeks into the job, Or had me calling global companies and speaking with established executives located in other time zones. The exposure to different cultural differences in doing business was invaluable. It is something that continues to inspire me to reach out to companies around the world.

Working closely with everyone at the company helped me gain a comfort of working in a technical environment. It also would prepare me for many challenges faced in the constantly fast paced world of digital marketing. Working in the Tel Aviv hi-tech industry, you have to learn quickly and teach yourself new principles. The culture and pace at SimilarGroup definitely prepared me for the many high level challenges involving all things digital marketing related, which I now focus on full time at Blue Fountain Media, a digital marketing agency in New York.

The work experience certainly helped my career but the friendships formed with my coworkers were equally as important. Never before had I worked at a company with a culture like SimilarGroup’s. The team and I didn’t just work together, we ate together, went out together and had fun together. Work in the office was a shared passion, not an obligation. The guys all respected each other and challenged each other to get better everyday. This driven mentality is what positions SimarGroup to become one of the most influential hi-tech companies in the big data market research industry.

I recommend SimilarGroup to anyone who loves technology and is looking to take the next step in his or her career. The work environment is not for the weak at heart – more for those who are eager to wake up everyday and learn something new while still being determined to make an impact.
